After a month-long hiatus, Anxious Ambition is back with our tenth episode of Season 2! Some of our guests have included: podcasters like Tre Moss, the founder of Active Minds at the University of Dubuque; LA-based actor and musician Josh Pertler; Chance Savant, executive director of the Southwest Louisiana branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and many more! In the hopes of shedding light on the fact that women and men deal with these issues, all of Season 2’s guests have been men.

This week is no different, as Justin sits down and talks with James Anastassiades, another of the founders of Off the Court. You may remember Off the Court from our last episode, when Justin welcomed Dalton Solbrig onto the show. James is a former volleyball player with a Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology. He’s currently pursuing a Master’s in Kinesiology. During his time playing volleyball, James struggled with an eating disorder and performance anxiety that affected every part of his life.

It is these personal experiences that help him with his work at Off the Court, an organization dedicated to teaching the importance of mental health, nutrition, and recovery when it comes to athletes. Through their podcast and various clinics, they have the often tough - but necessary - conversations that athletes need to have.
